Auriemma is in agreement with the reigning national Player of the Year that things have to change.
“Some games are lost before they’re even played, and by that you look at the circumstances leading up to the game.” Auriemma said. “What Stewie meant was that our practice habits are not very good. It takes us a long time to get things done. Some of that is incorporating our new guys. Then people go, ‘How comes the young guys didn’t play?’ Well, we didn’t want to lose by 30. You couldn’t put those guys in that situation in that environment.
“Every day we have to get them to understand that we don’t win by outscoring the other team. That’s not how we win at Connecticut. You don’t win big games on the road by outscoring them. Our practice habits have not been good defensively.
